Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The filmmakers never received permission to use the trademarked name "Space Needle." In order to circumvent this, it is spelled "Spaceneedle" when it appears in the film. more
Goofs:
Errors in geography: The Space Needle falls towards the side with the steps leading up to the base, which is the north side. It falls along a street in between brick buildings. The Space Needle actually has a football stadium, roller coaster, and an opera house to the direct north of it. more
Quotes:
President Paul Hollister: When the left hand finally realizes what the right hand is doing, it's exploded in all of our faces. more

Kept Waiting For It To Get Better, It Didn't, 4 May 2004
2/10
Author: Kevin (isleofdawn) from Ypsilanti, MI

Ouch. This was painful to watch. I am fascinated with humans trying to overcome potential disasters, i.e. Armageddon, Deep Impact and Twister. However, this disaster movie was a disaster. The guy riding from the space needle and the train getting engulfed by the fissure were ridiculous. I kept hoping there would be a change in plot that would make this better, but it kept getting worse. So much was just not believable. To me it was like watching most people on American Idol. It was so bad, it was fascinating. The other funny thing was nobody had a good relationship at the start of the movie. All the main characters that had relationships were having a rough go of it. Doesn't ANYONE have a good relationship anymore?
